Trying for a Baby Part 9

sjlou

Congratulations marie and sweatybetty.

Hugs to all those that need it. Hope youre ok MrsT after your doctors appointment.
Sounds like you're having a rough time :grouphug:

AF has disappeared already luckily. Since stopping the pill I seem to only have AF visit for around 3-4 days. Not sure whether this is "normal" for me or not yet, cant really remember them being this short when I was a teenager though!
Cycle has been 26 days for the last 2, so going to start the OPKs at around day 8. Does that sounds about right?

I too am trying to avoid the easter aisle in the supermarket. I loooove creme eggs. Could eat a box of 3 far too easily! Been very good and got a box full of fruit on my desk, alongside my sarnie.

Hi all, just wanted to pop by and hopefully join you all.

I'm Gelly and a newbie to this forum - but have been lurking for a couple of months and learning lots (you lot are very educational ;o). We're fairly new to even thinking about TTC but we started in November last year and I've been trying to "learn the lingo" ;o)

I'm 34 (last Fri) and TTC #1 - probably left it a bit too late but we hope not. Our personal circumstances have meant that we haven't been able to TTC as we don't have any family support and actually are the support to them so it's quite demanding but there's never a good time so we've decided to crack on and start trying.

We've been married since 2009 and hubaroo is 36. I'm seriously broody to the point it's embarassing but I'm guessing I'm in great company now.

I've been on the pill since the age of 15 (due to irregular AF's) and then a couple of times over the last 3-4 years on the depo injection - had the last one in May 2012 so it was due for renewal in September but we decided against it. Started TTC in November last year but so far nothing.

I'm also having issues with my AF's - been monitoring my cycles since November and they are somewhere around 15 days ish....have mentioned it to the GP and she sent me for blood tests - all came back normal. Next step is for ultra and internal scans which are booked for this Friday - a tad nervous but needs must.

So we've bought a CBFM and I've started using that from this cycle - currently on CD11 and still showing "low" so I'm hoping out for a rise to high or a peak soon to at least confirm I'm ovulating.

Well, that's enough about me - you all seem such a lovely bunch - so supportive and caring and that's exactly what I need right now. All my friends and family on hubaroos side have "been there and done that" and now we get "when is it your turn?" - as we're the last ones to have children. If only they knew how much we really want them when we turn round and say "one day" - when the reality is, we'd have them tomorrow if we could!

I'm not a frequent poster but I am a frequent reader so here's hoping you all get your BFP's very soon.

Love to you all
Gelly

Welcome Gelly. Good luck for Friday - had to have scan & int scan 8 wks ago - it wasn't anywhere near as bad as I had thought! Hope you aren't here too long. Xx

Welcome gelly. Perhaps your body is just taking a while to settle after the pill.

Positives of cd1:
Brand new cycle.
Fewer pms symptoms this month
Am not fasting today so can have some comfort chocolate and wine.

Yay Maire! :j:T all the very best with this pregnancy!
You'll be in good company with lemonmelon too please pop back and tell us when you've had your successful 12wk scans, ok? (i can't venture onto the pg threads, too upsetting )


I'm a bit of a Debbie downer atm, so gone back to lurking

You definitely need to stay away from the Cadbury's store in Braintree Freeport then! You can buy bags of the cream eggs for next to nothing!

I'm doing ok today. Still a bit down, so I'm barely eating. I'm trying to keep myself busy so I won't think too much about things yet.

I think we are probably going to go the ntnp route. I say if it happens, then it was meant to happen and we'll be fine. If not, then fine, at least until I reach my goal weight.

I'm still very upset at what the GP said, and therefore am trying very hard. The horrid thing is that it doesn't matter what is said, if I don't get continued support, I'll give up after a week or two and gain anything I've lost back.

I've worn myself out completely already today. Have already vacuumed downstairs and moved around all of the furniture, swept the kitchen, washed 3 days worth of dishes, put clean wet clothes out on the line, put away clean dry clothes, filled two slow cookers with meals for the next two days (philly cheese steak soup and vegetable curry), organised a huge stack of papers, took more food scraps outside for compost, emptied the rubbish, and now I'm washing two shirts that belong to the bunnies and a sheet that we use to cover the sofa.

I still need to wash two throws, put away the clean dishes once they are dry, bury the compost in the garden, water the plants, plant the lemon seeds that I got when I juiced a lemon over the weekend, plant 16 strawberry plants (and hope I have enough milk jugs!), finish a crochet doll for someone, and make a potato and leek bake in an attempt to use up some of the double cream we have before it goes off. I also have my tres leche concoction that needs to be used today. Might try pouring it into a bag and freezing it...

Sorry for rambling again. Hope everyone has a better day than I'm having at the moment.

Wow Mrs T. You're welcome to come and do my house next. Huge hugs. Can't imagine how you must be feeling but I think your plan is a good one. Will you be joining us on the 5:2 plan?

Hugs hugs bigz. It's horrible when the tests get your hopes up. You've worked so hard, it must be your turn soon.

mrsj28

maire :j:j congratulations. Wishing you a healthy and happy pregnancy. Will be stalking you...

Doesn't feel like anything I have done/do makes a difference, right now, or that it's even so fair as to get a "turn" Thanks though
